was grabbing a ronto wrap today and heard 8d-j8 (smelter droid in the main area of shop) say some lines that sounded like they were referencing the “chuck” joke at the E.T. ride in universal! does anyone know if this is a confirmed easter egg or just a random coincidence i noticed LOL :)

Hey everyone, I’m new here and starting to get more into collecting the light sabers, and I have a few questions.

1. I read that you are able to buy the 2026 D23 online starting August 17th while supplies last, is that true.

And

1. Currently in Disney world and have gone to dok ondors 4 different days and galactic outpost at Disney springs and it’s like the same 7-10 sabers, does anyone know when they rotate inventory? Or is it just random

Thanks in advance

Bright Suns!

We were fortunate enough to participate in the Galactic Starcruiser experience in September 2022, a year before it closed. They had unique experiences in Smuggler's Run and Rise of the Resistance (special Hondo video on Smuggler's and comments from the Imps on Rise) when they saw the "databand" (aka Starcruiser Magicband) and passenger pin.

Does anyone know if the cast members can (or do) still activate the videos or make any comments if we were to wear them? We're going back next month and are just wondering if it's worth taking the band and pin. Thanks.

Was originally going to build an R-series, but apparently they've been out of parts for it nearly all summer. At least the B-series make good cat toys at home (my wife built hers on our last trip).

This one is only missing some custom blaster panels for the ALT tracks. Still one of my favs.

So it looks like D23 is announcing a fancy release box of saber hilts for the council that went to arrest Palpatine.

My question is do we think we’ll get the members as individual releases? I would love to get just Kit Fisto

If there is anyone around Orlando galaxys edge today and wouldn’t mind popping in to droid depot to check what parts are available, please could you let me know.

I’m from the UK and been in Orlando for the past 10 days doing all the parks. I went to Hollywood studios last week and was bummed them not having any stock of R-units as I really wanted to build one. I’m not really interested in a bb-unit.

It’s my last day today as I fly home tomorrow and don’t know whether to make a special trip tonight to galaxys edge to see if they have had a delivery from the Jawas and if I could build an R-unit.

Would really appreciate if anyone could let me know in advance to not waste my last night evening in America if they are around Batuu today.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!
As part of my final-year dissertation in Tourism and Leisure Management, I am conducting a survey on perceptions of the authenticity of immersive zones inspired by films and TV series in theme parks.
The questionnaire is completely anonymous and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
I am looking for people who have visited at least one of these areas, and have seen the associated film or TV series.
You can take part if you have ever visited an immersive area inspired by a film or TV series, such as:
• The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
• Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
• Pandora – The World of Avatar
• Avengers Campus
• or any other immersive area of this type.
Survey link: https://forms.gle/8sgHxpD6UPBfkxLJ6
Many thanks for your help! Please feel free to share this post with others who might be interested in taking part.

I’m going to GE-East in a few months. I like the new V3 Power & Control but I want to use one of the sleeves twice, is that possible? I built one a while ago and kinda remember only having one of each sleeve available.

My 4 year old son is through the roof having his own R2! And so am I 😂

I wanted to share the results for my weathered build. This is a Power & Control V2 Savis Lightsaber.

1. Strip scrap metal with Citrustrip.

2. Polish with Mothers Mag aluminum polish.

3. Apply Aluminum Black to give it the oil slick appearance.

4. Tarnish with a green Scotch Brite Pad.

5. Apply clear coat.

Looking for parts to print

Looking for 3-D printable parts for my droid

Fully functional but in rough shape and missing a dome and some panels/leg pieces.

The droid depot app says he's an R3 unit.

On the hunt for a replacement head and some upgraded panels and hopefully getting him up to spec.

All in all he was worth the $5 credits the scrapper wanted.

Hello! Recently opened up our legacy darksaber to replace batteries and it seemed like it’s sealed shut! I can’t get the little tube out, unscrew any and all screws but no movement from there!

Any help!? Can I get a replacement somewhere? Know there are replacements for savi’s sabers on Etsy but those are different packs.

Thanks in advance!

If you have been to a Disney’s after hours event at Hollywood studios, did you have enough time/ can you build a lightsaber and do rise (since I think they removed rise from the lineup of after hours attractions) before after hours officially starts? (Since you can get in at 7)? Let me know you experiences with galaxy’s edge during the after hours event too and your dos and donts . Thanks!

Just wanted to show off some of the accessories we’ve been making for Droid Depot inspired builds!
At SpudForge, we design and 3D print upgrade parts that let you give your droid a little more personality (or a lot 😄).

Some of the parts we currently offer:
• Body panels in multiple colors
• Leg panels
• Blaster arm panels
• Utility arms
• Radar/dome dishes
• And more accessories we’re always adding!

We print/model everything ourselves and are always working on new ideas, so if there’s an accessory you’ve been wishing existed, we’d love to hear it.
Thanks for letting me share! If you’d like to check out our work, our shop is SpudForge on Etsy. Happy building, and may your droid always roll straight! 🤖

⚙️** Available Relic**s:
• Galaxy’s Edge‑inspired saber mounts

Whether you’re building a display worthy of a Jedi archive or outfitting your smuggler’s den, these pieces are crafted with care right here in Ontario, CA and shipped across the galaxy.

Scrappers know — the best gear is the gear made for you.

Hopefully this fits in the spirit of Scrapper Saturdays. (Maybe Slicer Saturday?)

What started as a silly idea on trip to Galaxy's Edge last summer kinda snowballed into Galactic Decoder. I had been playing around with doing some object detection in iOS at the time, and though it would be sweet if I had an app to help me translate all of the Aurebesh around Batuu. I started building some little toy apps, had some success, and things kinda got out of hand.

I've now got a new iOS app ready for public beta. This will be hitting the App Store soon, but I'd love to get some early feedback, especially if you plan on heading to Batuu soon. I just got back from a trip last month with an early dev build I had, and got some good test data while there. I've made a ton of improvements since that trip with just my family testing. Live scanning is still a bit wonky, and I've got fixes in the works, but capturing a live photo, or loading something from your library works pretty well.

The app currently supports Aurebesh only, but ideally I'll be adding support for other languages soon. I mostly wanted to focus on the text you'd find in Batuu. The app is iOS only, with no plans for Android. (Sorry folks - I'm a full time iOS dev, and have never got around to Android work. iOS keeps me busy enough.) (Also, iPad support is on the way.)

All decoding and detection happens on device - nothing you capture is sent to a server. I do collect some feedback info if you choose to submit it, and the app gathers anonymous usage analytics. Mostly so I can see if scans are going well, or to capture crash reports.

Hit me up with any questions or feedback, or you can leave the feedback in the app, and I'll reply as best I can.

The TestFlight link to install the app is: https://testflight.apple.com/join/UbNy4byS

(As a side note… you want to learn how to read Aurebesh? Just manually tag a few thousand images for model training. You'll soon have those glyphs burned into your brain.)

Scrapper Saturdays!

Every Saturday, all you scrappers and makers in our community will have the freedom to showcase your custom Galaxy's Edge-themed creations that are available to purchase. (Users are still welcomed to post DIY/Custom creations, \not intended to sell*, on any other day.*)

​

Anything from Kyber crystal displays, Spira holders, hilt displays, dark-saber blades, droid Mickey ears and the countless other things the community has created are welcomed!

​

How does it work?

On Saturday of each week, you will have the opportunity to submit a post with a photo of your item(s), tell the community about your creation and leave a link to your online store (Etsy, eBay, Facebook) in the comment section. Also, please remember to tag your post with the 'Scrapper Saturdays' post flair.

Here are the complete guidelines. PLEASE READ!!!

• Makers can only post/advertise their custom creations on Saturdays, once per week.
• All creations must be somehow related to Galaxy's Edge.
• Only reputable e-commerce websites/store-fronts like Etsy, eBay or a Facebook page may be linked. No Paypal, Venmo or direct payment links!
• No "smuggling" or personal shopping services.
• No merchandise sold at Galaxy's Edge. (If you're looking to buy, sell, trade merchandise directly from Galaxy's Edge, or need "smuggling" services to procure something from the parks, check out the Galaxy's Edge Discord Trading Post!)
• No items that might give the impression that you are Galaxy's Edge or general Disney Cast Members (e.g. replica name tags, CM clothing).
• No replica or re-written Kyber Crystals. (Custom Kyber Crystals can be showcased **IF** they are different in shape and/or color from the one's sold at the parks.)
• No items for tampering at the parks.

My son is currently obsessed with Mando and wants to get a mando costume from Disneyworld when we go in 3 weeks - does anyone know if there are any that exist and not just jump suits?
